My Grandfather's name was Harry Smith. His father was Thomas Edward Smith. My Grandfather lived in Huncoat but never worked at the pit there as far as I know. He was at Altham then Scaithcliffe. He died in 1934. I got in touch with Accrington library and asked if they had any records showing minutes from the meetings of Accrington Miners Federation. They very kindly found the relevant books for me to look through. I found my Grandfathers reports from the Executive Committee. Very interesting and moving for me.
